Munich's Jacob Pilgrim's Trail 8-day Self-guided Walking Tour Level 2
Starting in Munich, Bavaria’s vibrant capital on the Isar, you walk through little villages where time stood still, several impressive monasteries, churches with typical Baroque turrets and tiny chapels. The strikingly beautiful landscape with its green pastures, meadows and forests, murmuring streams, roaring rivers and idyllic lakes have a calming effect on both mind and body. Lake Ammersee, Bavaria’s third biggest lake and Lake Forggensee in the Allgäu region are both part of the itinerary. Finally, two very special highlights await in Füssen – 'Neuschwanstein' and 'Hohenschwangau', King Ludwig’s Fairytale Castles. The breathtaking countryside, amazing cultural sights and welcoming Bavarian atmosphere will captivate and enchant you!
Tours are easy however for tours up to 5.5 hours good basic fitness level is required. In parts some sections can be shortened by taking a bus. Walks are on well maintained walking and forest trails as well as asphalted paths. Only minor altitude differences due to walks mainly in valleys.
